Goal

Does L700 support SPC-3 SCSI Reservation ?

Does IBM LTO2 support SPC-3 SCSI Reservation?
 

Fix

L700 supports SCSI-3 Reservation with SPC-2.

REF : L180/ L700e Interface Reference Manual :

---Device Reservations-----
L700/L7003 and L180 Tape libraries support the Reserve/Release management method and also the Persistent Reservations management method.
These methods are defined in the ANSI SCSI-3 Primary Commands (SPC-2) standard.

For IBM LTO2, most of the commands are as per SPC-2 but there are few with SPC-3 support. Persistent Reserve is as per SPC-2.

REF : Below document for complete set of commands and their specs.
